A powerful and stylish aged
cow topped a field of outstanding
contenders to take Grand Champ
ion honors at the 1995 Pennsylva
nia Holstein Championship Show,
held Tuesday at the state Farm
Show complex.
It was the second consecutive
win for “Wind-Drift A-J Natema,”
whose photo graced the cover of
the show’s catalog in honor of her
1994 champion title. She is owned
and exhibited by Campbell, Beat
ty and Claypool, Campbell-Run
Farm, Ford City.
Officiating at the state champ
ionship show was John Buckley,
whose family has a Holstein herd
at Lindsey. Ontario, Canada.
Natema, at seven years old, is
scored EX-91. Not only is she a
show winner, she excels equally in
the milking string. Recently fresh,
she finished her last lactation with
36,513 milk, 1178 fat and 1128
protein. The champion is sired by
Bridon Astro Jet-ET, from the
dam Wind-Drift Valiant Nancy,
and was bred by Donald Keller.
Standing with Natema in the
winner’s circle was her herdmate
from Campbell-Run Farms,
“Pinehurst Jessica.” The reserve
champion topped her large four
year-old class and was named All-
Pennsylvania four-year-old before
the show’s end. Earlier in the sea
son, she took champion honors at
the Northwest Championship
Show.
In her second lactation, Jessica
is VG-86 and currently milking
over 100 pounds. Sired by Walk
way Chief Mark, Pinehurst Farms
bred her from the dam is Pinehurst
Jctset.
Top heifer honors were shared
by a pair of herdmates from Tri-
Day Farms, owned by the Curtis
and Ann Day family, Shippens
burg. Junior champion was the fall
calf ‘Tri-Day Astrid,” exhibited
by Matthew Day. Reserve junior
champion honors went to “Tri-
Day Mystique,” a spring calf. The
pair helped win a first-place award
in the junior best three females
class for the Day family.
Penn Gate Farms, Steve and
Chris Wood, Littlestown, won the
cash prize of the day, the Key
stone Futurity banner and its
accompanying check for
$1447.25. Their winning entry
was “Penn Gate Markem Angel,”
also named best uddered over the
class of 13 head It was a day for
awards in pairs, with Penn Gate
also taking second place in the
futurity line-up with “Penn Gate
Lincoln Dutchess.”
Futurity contenders are entered
as calves, with 206 entries initially
signed up for the 1995 runoff.
Three annual payments are made
into the futurity fund by those
electing to keep their entries in the
contest until they compete in the
showring as three-year-olds.
Penn Gate further garnered the
top points to take still another
another pair of big honors for their
well-known Holstein herd, the
coveted Premier Breeder and Pre
Natema Wins Again At State Championship Show
mier Exhibitor banners. Several
years of winning such top awards
help earn Steve and Chris Wood
the National H)lstein Associa
tion’s outstanding young breed
er’s title earlier this year.
In second place for premier
breeder was Globe Run Farms, the
John and Alice Foster family,
Petersburg, and third was Gor-
Wood D Holsteins, the Gordon
Wood family, Mansfield. Second
place points in the premier exhibi
tor competition were scored by
Campbell Run Farms, Ford City,
with Globe Run Farms in the
thrid-place spot.

mance Award was the aged dry
cow “Whiteleather Conquest
385,” exhibited by M. Weimer, F.
Strouse and K. Colyer, Solid Gold

of the junior division. It capped a
winning year for 14-year-old
youth member Lory Ann Baker,
and the second championship in
two days for the EX-92, five-year
old cow. Monday, “Oslo” took
grand champion honors in the
state junior Holstein show.

class.
